Many years of dragonslaying have bathed this huntress in countless amounts of blood. Each drop gave her more power, but at a terrible price, as her cursed body now spreads the dragontaint like an epidemic. No village will take her in, and she no longer even remembers what inspired her crusade in the first place.
Dragon Core Hexer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57.8 · Deck: 57.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
The type line confirms a Level 8 Normal Tuner Monster with no effect, so the card scores as a clean Synchro body that cannot be blanked, not for interaction or card advantage. Its real value is generic: 132 sample decks run it at about one copy each across 39 archetypes, which supports deck fit and redundancy but is frequency, not intrinsic strength. No combo evidence was supplied, so conversion stays modest and rests on text-only inference. The 2300 ATK / 3000 DEF stats earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live as a hand body in 132 decks with no searcher route in the evidence and zero combo appearances (deck data, observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Zero combo appearances, so conversion is text-only: a Tuner body that enables Synchro summons but builds no board on its own (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No card advantage or refuel; as a Synchro material it is roughly a one-for-one exchange (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text in the type line, so no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Clean Level 8 DARK Dragon Tuner that stays a valid material even when no effect is negated (verified type line, inferred Synchro fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | No effect to negate, but it is removed by any field-clearing or destruction effect and has no recursion (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Single-copy footprint in almost every deck (1.05 avg copies), no garnet or lock restriction (deck data, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal, single role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 57.8, Deck ≈ 57.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 8 DARK Dragon Tuner with no effect text to negate
- Low-cost single-copy slot that fits 39 archetypes
- Material value survives any interaction because there is no effect to shut off
Weaknesses
- No effect: zero interaction, card advantage or board presence of its own
- Zero combo appearances in the evidence, so conversion is unverified
- Level 8 is a narrow Synchro requirement (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Field-removal and destruction effects, since the body has no protection of its own
Best use
Level 8 Tuner body for Synchro lines. Decks: Primite, Temple of the Kings, Apophis, Blue-Eyes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Type line 'Normal Tuner Monster' with no effect text; Level 8, DARK, Dragon, ATK 2300 / DEF 3000; 132 recent decks, avg 1.05 copies, 39 distinct archetypes; 77.3% of decks in gameplay type 7
- Observed: Zero combo appearances in the supplied combo data; Top partners show Primite lines co-occur in 60–66% of decks
- Inferred: Synchro material fit follows from the Tuner type and Level 8; Generic portability across homes follows from 39 archetypes at one copy each
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % is from the deck sample only description field is flavor text only; no-effect status comes from the type line
